Starkey & Mueller

Andy Gresh joins to discuss what the Steelers are getting in Jabrill Peppers, if he was surprised he was let go in New England, his story about Pat Narduzzi, how many Big Macs he ate in one sitting.

Dolphins reporter Armando Salguero joins to discuss the Tyreek Hill rumors and the financial implications. He points out several potential issues with Hill. Could the Dolphins trade him if they lose this weekend? Who is on the Mt Rushmore for Westmoreland County athletes?

Could Tyreek Hill be a real option for the Steelers? Is he washed after a rough 2024? He might have more legal trouble on the horizon. Is he worth it? Would KC be the best fit for him anyway?

Payton Wilson had a rough game on Sunday, Mike Tomlin isn't a ball treatment specialist. Aaron Rodgers received a horrid PFF grade. PFF grader John Kosko joins to explain himself. He references a dropped interception by the Jets and the myriad of screen passes. Bryce Young was ranked ahead based on the grades. They did not credit him with any "big time throws".

Mike Tomlin talked today. He's not worried about Broderick Jones. Mullsy isn't feeling very optimistic after Sunday. He got beat every way imaginable. These struggles are even more concerning because Rodgers looked very good. A caller is very concerned about Jones.

The defense was shredded by the Jets and Justin Fields yesterday. The Jets had a makeshift offensive line and they had no issue pushing around the Steelers vaunted defense. Given how last season ended, you would have expected the defense to want to make a statement – they didn’t. $158M for a defense means the expectations are high for the entire game, not just the final few moments. Fans reacted to a bad defensive day. PM Team Professors.

Aaron Rodgers said that he was happy to beat everyone associated with the Jets. PFF had Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford as their two highest graded QBs in week one.

Poni says that yesterday was one of the best passing days of Justin Fields career.

Cam Heyward finally got his revised contract, and Steeler fans think that Chris Boswell is more deserving.

Mullsy says that Steeler fans were enjoying Heyward’s sub-par play yesterday. Callers voice their opinions on yesterday’s game. Should the Steelers draft a QB if the defense is the reason they miss the playoffs? Donny Football’s game balls. Game ball number 3 goes to Chris Boswell after his 6o yarder to win the game. Mullsy says that Boswell should decide whether they kick or not on 4th downs. Game ball number 2 goes to Justin Fields for a great performance against his former squad. Game ball number 1 goes to Aaron Rodgers for his 4 touchdown day against his former team.

Steelers 34, Jets 32. The Steelers got their best quarterback play since 2018 as Aaron Rodgers threw for 4 TD passes without an interception.

Aaron Rodgers hit some historic marks yesterday with his big day. PIT-NYJ Plays of the Game.
